Renovating Port Kembla's older cottages
Port Kembla is one of Wollongong's oldest suburbs, built up around the steelworks and the harbour, and its housing is mostly modest cottages and workers' homes from an earlier era. Bathrooms in these houses are often small and original, which means smart design matters more than in a larger, newer home — every centimetre needs to earn its place.
We regularly find old plumbing and failed waterproofing once we strip an original Port Kembla bathroom back, which isn't a surprise given the age of the housing stock. We rebuild it properly — new plumbing, full waterproofing to Australian Standards, and a layout that makes the most of what's often a compact footprint.
Smart design for compact bathrooms
Large-format tiles, a wall-hung vanity and a frameless shower screen are some of the tricks we use to make a small Port Kembla bathroom feel bigger and more open. We can supply your tiles and fixtures or fit your own selections.
We manage the whole job in-house — demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tiling and fit-off — so you deal with one team from quote to completion.
